2 challenges inspired today's card...
As You See It Challange // #AYSI335 ...A "recipe" challenge!! Use all 5 ingredients given in this "Thinking of You Warmly" recipe!! The ingredients for this current challenge are metallic (a silver charm), embossing texture (used a border embossing folder), Thinking of You sentiment (sentiment stamp from the Essential Sentiments set that I won somewhere along the way), tag (used a retired Stampin Up tag punch), and warm tones (Early Espresso, Hello Honey, and Melon Mambo inks from Stampin Up). Check!! All five ingredients are mixed together on my Caffeinated Collage card!!
TGIF Challenges // #tgif496 ...An "inspiration" challenge!! We were given an "Abstract Art" piece as our inspiration! I love a collage card...the layering up of colors, textures, and elements makes for a fun creation.
Allsorts Challenges // #AC804 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional theme!! Today I decided to enter this challenge as an "anything goes" card...collage cards are kinda like that!! Anything goes and you keep layering and adding elements until you have the perfect creation!!
Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS67 ...A "never been used" challenge!! Today my "never been used" items are the coffee ben stamps!! I won a prize gift certificate in the "National Coffe Day" blog from Miss Ink Stamps and today I am inking up those coffee beans for the very first time.

ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning card! I love how you incorporated all the elements from the challenges so seamlessly. The metallic charm and embossed texture add such a lovely dimension, and the warm tones are perfect for a ‘Thinking of You’ card. The coffee bean stamps are a fantastic touch, especially knowing they’re being used for the first time.
ReplyDeleteDJ, I love your collage cards! The texture in this one is incredible! I The way that you used all 5 elements of the recipe to create this coffee collage and make it look like each one "belongs" takes skill! Thanks for cooking up our recipe at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteDeb this is fabulous! I struggle creating this kind of card myself and I just love it when I see great inspirational examples - and yours most definitely is one! I love everything about it - there really is so much to look at. Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It this week!
